What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
You don't have to be so scared to share what's inside
2
'cause you're Daddy's little superstar
3
And you're Mama's little butterfly
4
Fly high
5
A strange strange litany of verses and reverses
6
Adlibs and rehearses
7
Clouds burst and words cursed
8
An argument breaks out
9
It's one we've all heard before, it's boring
10
Had us all snoring from the first line
11
One after another chimed in perfect time
12
Tired rehashes of petty cashes and mismatches
13
You shoulda coulda's
14
And "why didn't 'tcha dida's"
15
Crippling snippets aimed at the heart
16
To inflame and impart blame
17
Framed like Mumia
18
Verbal diarrhea
19
Creating chasms between the souls of two
20
Or two billion
21
Nations torn apart
22
Station to station damnation
23
With much deliberation and very little consideration
24
To the return on the damage from the altercation
25
Collateral condemnation
26
Then denyin' like colorization of an old black and white
27
Create a revision of the recent last night
28
The fight that started with two words, "I'm right"
29
[Chorus]
30
You don't have to be so scared to share what's inside
31
'cause you're Daddy's little superstar
32
And you're Mama's little butterfly
33
Fly high
34
But of course the fight ends with no resolution
35
Merely a vow for retribution, substitution, execution, electrocution
36
Ruthless, toothless and truthless
37
Mumbling through page after page of excuses
38
Abuses of the gift of the gab
39
Gabriel the trumpeter
40
Bestowed upon us a voice with a choice
41
And a tongue kept moist by years of salivating
42
For oysters, pearls and aphrodisiacs
43
Locked in an ugly shell always too chewy and gooey
44
So they get swallowed whole
45
But a tongue is so much more than a vehicle for greed
46
A tongue is for washing fur
47
Or for licking wounds
48
Or for welcoming newcomers into a room
49
Or cleansing those fresh from the womb
50
Without a tongue there would be no croons
51
Swoons, Junes under the moon
52
No bees pollinating no flowers in bloom
53
No recitation of words at the foot of a tomb
54
Or wills read aloud of the family heirlooms
55
You probably couldn't even blow up a balloon
56
And that would be a shame
57
Because to exhales the name of the game
58
Exhale from the heart
59
Not from the lungs
60
Exhale from the heart
61
Not from the tongue
62
[Chorus]
63
Listening is understanding
64
And finding compassion
65
Love is the action of soul satisfaction
66
A tongue can make wishes and also fine kisses
67
Taste a sweet cake and also cast disses
68
But nothing compares to the voice from within
69
Without it we might just be mannequins
70
Up to no darn good shenanigans
71
Learn to be skilful movers of the stones
72
That block the heart and turn humans to clones
73
Learn to forgive, set free the bones
74
Touch with your flesh, take off the rubber gloves
75
Love like your life depends on it
76
Because it does
77
[Chorus]
